TT Obituary

Well, he died as he lived – going for the glory.  As part of the original line up of the Media Moguls, Ted “One” Turner picked up the nickname after skilling up with +MA twice, and getting sprint on top, to make him a feared turn 8 machine, especially with Diving Catch giving him a catch on a 2+ from his captain Mike Davies, who had Accurate and Kick-Off Return, so only the most delicate of kicks or resolute defences had a hope of stopping the scoring supremo.

These two led the Moguls through five seasons in the UKBBL, including as champions of their division last season, but perhaps he sensed that the end was in sight as the team was planning to take a sabbatical in the next season anyway.  So turn 15, with the win in the bag, could have waited until the next turn to score, but had a reroll in hand…

GFI, 1, Reroll, 1, Injury, Dead, Apo, Dead.  The trumpets rang out.  The choirs of Middenhof sang their lament.  And the game was over for this most glorious of players.
